After playing with a E2180 up to 300x10 (3Ghz, 300FSB) with a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L motherboard and testing it a lot, CoreTemp shows it idle at ~36ºC with C1E enabled, same as SpeedFan.
Then I tryed to OC a Q6600 with another GA-P35-DS3L motherboard, C1E enabled, but it got VERY hot, 55ºC idle, 85ºC loaded...
So I spent the day trying different configs and finished with Gigabyte's CIA2 (CPU intelligent Accelerator) set to "Sports" (7%-9% OC acording to the manual, but it does a lot more, like 10%-15%) that was the fastest stable OC with CIA2. And it run a little cooler, but still very hot.
I have it now with "Cruise" setting, (5-7%..) and now I discovered that the CPU may be cooler than what coretemp tells...
Check this out
What software can I trust for Core2Quad?
And if ~56ºC idle is the right one, it seems very hot for me, is it normal?
Any advice?
Latest BIOS in both cases
Thanks!
